Pres. Duterte orders NFA to Task Force Davao’s anti-terror buy rice from local farmers drive ‘creating vigilant citizenry’ DAVAO CITY – President Rodrigo R. Duterte ordered the National Food Authority (NFA) to buy the rice produce by the farmers in the country instead of importing the commodity.

Priorities must be given to rice farmers in the country than importing the commodity, President Duterte said before leaving for the

Middle East last week.

“Why import rice? It will kill our farmers. We will not compete with our rice farmers,” the President emphasized.

President Duterte’s resolve to protect local rice farmers came after he fired a high official at the Office of Cabinet Secretary for approving rice importation.

The President dismissed Undersecretary Maria Chiara Halmen Reina Valdez for overruling an earlier decision of NFA Administrator Jason Aquino to suspend the importation of rice as harvest is ongoing in the country.

Duterte also denied reports of in-fighting among

DAVAO CITY – The anti-terrorism campaign of Task Force Davao is gaining positive results “in creating a wellinformed and more vigilant citizenry,” its commander said.

Col. Bernard Neri, Task Force Davao commander, said Saturday afternoon that after the September 2016 explosion that ripped through the Roxas night market here, they received over 100 calls and tips from concerned citizens regarding

unattended bags or suspicious personalities.

He stressed this is “an indication of a vigilant citizenry.”

Last Friday, Task Force Davao joined a private motoring group and public utility van operators in putting stickers to all public utility vans plying between Davao City and southern parts of Mindanao like South Cotabato, Maguindanao and See drive, page A4

President Duterte assures gov’t firmly handling terror threats See media, page A4

DAVAO CITY – President Rodrigo Duterte assured the public that the government is firmly handling terror threats to protect the people and the country.

T he Pre s i d e nt a ls o “brushed aside” the terror threat reported by the United States embassy in the country.

“Kaya natin (We can handle it) I already read that report in the newspapers,” Duterte told reporters in a press conference at the Davao International Airport shortly before departing for

his week-long official visit to the middle east.

In an interview after the send-off rites, armed forces Chief of Staff Eduardo Año said the “terror threat is an unverified and unvalidated report of previous events that are being exploited.”

“The us embassy has obligations to warn their citizens,” he said.

Año, however, urged the people to be vigilant against suspicious persons.

The US Embassy released a travel advisory to its citi-

DAVAO CITY -- The 10th Infantry (Agila) Division of the Philippine Army condemned the “unfounded allegations” hurled by militant group Karapatan against soldiers , who they accused of killing farmers and leaders in the area.

In a statement, Capt.

Alexander Cabales, acting chief of the 10th Infantry Division’s Public Affairs Office, said the accusations are “unfair” since there were no evidence presented or formal charges filed in the proper forum.

He urged Karapatan to submit the necessary evidence to the Philippine National Police (PNP) so that charges will be filed against those responsible for the killings.

The leadership of the 10th ID will welcome and support any probe to determine the truth behind the allegations, he added.

He also clarified that the 10th ID “does not condone any misbehavior or abuses of its members and will be very grateful to those

Davao mayor backs development of SMEs DAVAO CITY – Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio has vowed to give priority to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as they form the bulk of the city’s economy.

She said that big businesses operating in the city are just few compared to the SMEs. The successful operations of SMEs can boost the economy, Duterte-Carpio

said.

She said the city has a business-friendly environment as shown by the increasing number of new businesses applying for permits.

Last Saturday, DuterteCarpio graced the branch opening of home-grown restaurant Emilio’s Grill.

Emilio’s Grill started as a “ turo - turo karinderya” See backs, page A4

Money problems have been around us as long as money has. If you have no money, your problem is how to get some. If you have more money then you use it immediately, your problem is how to buried your money in the ground but he is called wicked and slothful. The other one, put their money to work and manage to double it. That was great, but the prospect of such a return must have involved a certain amount of risk and that a big return requires a big risk.

a want but a need that we have to provide because it is included in almost all aspects of our lives. The importance of technology is to provide comfort of use in whichever it is. It makes our work lighter and easier.

Let cite telephone as an example. With the use of telephone, communication is not a problem because anyone can connect and

speak to someone using this technology anytime and anywhere. Telephone makes the conversation meaningful and easy to understand.

Computer is another technology that is intended to compute but eventually turn into a device that can perform a number of operations per second. Using this electronic machine, students can do research in all topics

assigned to them and even personal browsing to learn new ideas about education, business, sports, lifestyle and culture.

Another technology is cellular phone. Cellphone is probably the technology that students want to have because of its interesting features and applications. With this technology, information can spread as fas as the usual.

prohibition against one’s effort to provide the necessities of life for himself or his love ones. Jesus is warning us not to consider material wealth our treasures.

Material wealth is subject to decay. Most of the time we keep on worrying on material concern such as food and clothing and other treasures on earth like new car, elegant house and more vacation. Remember, we are just living here on temporary place. This is not our home, why need to invest more . Life on earth are just temporary. We almost for-

get that heaven is the place where real treasure can be found. Gold mansions where people aim to have.

Heaven is a place where no more pain and problems.

Make up your mind, worrying flourishes a divided mind. Perhaps you have chosen the best treasures. Give first place to God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. Refuse to do anything dishonest, mean or greedy. No matter what this earth can offer, be contented on what you have. Just be faithful to God because God knows all our needs.

“China can relax. We are friends. We will not go to war with you. We’re just trying to maintain the balance of the geopolitical situation there (West Philippine Sea),” President Duterte said.

While he extended his hands of friendship to China, the President also called on the Chinese government to “kindly take a deep look at the situation there to avoid the situation

where everybody is grabbing every land and islet in the disputed islands.”

In a press briefing Monday before he left for an official visit to the Middle East, Duterte revealed he had been hearing plans to put up structures and missile facilities in the West Philippine Sea, which the Chinese government calls as the South China Sea.”I will not allow that to hap-

pen. So I said occupy and claim it as ours,” he said.

“So for the information of China, we will not place any weapons there. We are just there to claim the islands because that is really ours,” Duterte emphasized.

He ordered the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to build structures there “to signify to all that it is the Philippines’ exclusive See firm, page A4

DTI prepares Davao Norte LGUs for the 2017 Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) “The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) is a vital management tool not only for the investors but also for the LGUs in assessing their level of competitiveness”, Provincial Director Romeo Castańaga says as he happily announces the commence-

ment of the 2017 CMCI Survey spearheaded by the National Competitiveness Council through the Region XI Competitiveness Committee and in coordination with the DTI-Davao del Norte Provincial Office.

The commencement which was highlighted dur-

ing the CMCI Caravan conducted at the Golden Palace Hotel, Tagum City, resulted into a series of CMCI Orientation as requested by the local government units of Tagum, Panabo, Carmen, and the Island Garden City of Samal. “The overflowing requests from the LGUs through their respective Local Economic and Investment Promotion Officers (LEIPOs) have shown the desire of the LGUs to participate in the survey

and improve their current competitiveness ranking. In fact, aside from Tagum City, two more LGUs have created their own technical working group to ensure provision of accurate and complete data for the CMCI”, Director Castańaga said.

During the CMCI orientations, Senior Trade and Industry Development Specialist Gelyn Llana emphasizes the importance of the competitiveness index See prepares, page A4

SSS supports e-banking in Bangsamoro region meanwhile, employers in Mindanao stood at around 109,000 or only 12 percent of total covered employers nationwide, while the individual SSS members of Mindanao was recorded at about 4.9 million or 14 percent of total individual SSS members nationwide.

“Just to give you a few snapshots, in the provinces of Basilan, Sulu and TawiTawi, we have 1,358 covered employers, over 15,000 covered employed workers, and 20,856 self-employed and voluntary members.

Collections in the three provinces totaled P68.25 million for 2016,” Valdez said.

For SSS’ part, Valdez said that it will continue coverage and collection activities in the region but will also focus more on establishing linkages and opening service offices.

“There is a need to open a service office in Lamitan City, Basilan, while we are also looking into upgrading the Tawi-Tawi service office into a full-service branch,” he said.

The use of G-Cash for contribution and loan pay-

ments, according to Valdez, will also be promoted since mobile phone usage and connectivity is more reliable and easier than bank transactions.

SSS will also continue to forge partnerships with local government units and government agencies to cover their job order and contractual personnel under the KaltaSSS Collect Program, as they are not covered by the Government Services

and Insurance System.

Amid the challenges faced by the system in the region, Valdez remained positive for the region as there are pockets of hope and prospects for growth in the Bangsamoro region.

“The certainty of increased government funding and international development aid infusion into the local economy will go a long way in generating economic activity,” he said.

property.”

“We do not mean harm to China. We are friends as a matter of fact. And maybe when we get rich, very rich, I can sell the land to you for --- inyo na (it’s yours).

When the spectacle of a war is gone, nothing is dangerous to the Philippines,” he said.

Duterte said that with the Philippine flag installed in the West Philippine Sea, any exploration in the area needs clearance from the Philippine government. Upon his return, Duterte said he will be issuing an executive order renaming Benham Rise as “The Philippine Ridge” or “The Philippine Rise.”

Also known as Benham Plateau, this 13-millionhectare seismically active undersea region is located east of Luzon, and is 35 meters underwater at its shallowest point off the provinces of Aurora and Isabela. It is said to be wider than Luzon, Samar and Leyte combined. (PNA)

The Social Security System (SSS) has urged the banking community to explore and establish its electronic banking (e-banking) facilities in the armed-conflict region of Mindanao to further develop the economic opportunities that lies in the bountiful Land of Promise.

Social Security Commission (SSC), the governing body of SSS, Chairman Amado D. Valdez said that peace will eventually prosper in the armed-conflict area of Mindanao if the residents in the area are engaged in economic activities that can put food on their table, provide them decent shelter and employment, education and health facilities.

“I agree, let us give economic generation and economic development priority in the region, then peace order will follow. Only when there is an increase in economic activity, infrastructure development and employment generation, along with it, peace and order will be in place.” Valdez stressed in his key note address during the debut economic event of the Bangsa Moro Federal Business Council, Inc, (BMFBCI) held at F1 Hotel in Taguig last March 24.

Valdez noted this as he lamented the challenges faced by SSS in covering employed and voluntary members in the Bangsamoro region.

“The unstable peace and order situation in the region is the biggest challenge faced by SSS in ensuring the coverage of employers and workers there. It is difficult to convince people of the need for social security protection when their physical safety is threatened on a daily basis, not to mention their job security and regular sources of income,” Valdez said, adding that SSS personnel’s safety were also at risk in conducting field investigations or case

verifications in far-flung areas.

Valdez, likewise, stressed that the lack of banking facilities in the area was among the challenges of the pension fund since collection and disbursement activities of SSS rely greatly on the banking system.

“Members in far-flung areas often need to travel for hours to a city center where banking facilities are available. For example in Basilan, there are several banks in Isabela City, but only one in Lamitan City,” he said.

Based on the latest data of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, there are about 1,486 banks branches in Mindanao. Of these number, only 19 were located in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).

To date, SSS Mindanao Operations Group is divided in four divisions with 46 offices in the area. Total collections from the region reached P11.53 billion as of end of 2016, which represents only about 8 percent of the total contribution collections nationwide.
